be presented to the Commission for approval of the work. Hence, in the absence of clear permissions to use the Brigham Road paper street from Coolidge Ave to access 38 Adams Street, a plan for accessing the work area through the wetlands from the driveway of 38 Adams Street will need to be presented to the Conservation Office for review and approval before work commences. At a minimum, matting shall be placed and used for equipment to traverse the wetland area. Concerns of the Commission: - The layout of the fence is odd, what is the reason for extending it that far and why are there three gates? - Did they check if it is legal to go across the paper street that presently does not provide access into 38 Adams Street? - Clarify the handling of the spoils from the post holes. Responses of the Applicant: - The reason for the odd layout is because this is the layout of the shared property boundary with the paper street. - Their attorney claims the Fulops have rights in the Brigham Road Paper Street. The gates in the fence will further guarantee their rights continue in the Brigham Road paper street once the fence is installed along their property boundary shared with the street layout as advised by their attorney. - The soil removed to place the fence posts will be put into 5 gallon buckets and hauled out of the area. Jane Fulop, property owner of 38 Adams Street, presented before the Commission. She stated they have consulted their attorney and are confident about their rights to Brigham Road but that is not an issue if they have to access a different way. They are not asking the Commission to vote on the legal issue of rights in the Brigham Road paper street. Concerns of the Abutters: - Want to know if the existing fence was permitted or approved. Object to any access from Coolidge Avenue through Brigham Road to access 38 Adams Street. There is a deed restriction recorded at the Registry of Deeds for Brigham Road that was placed by the former owners of 17 and 23 Coolidge Avenue. - A fence will prevent access of wildlife crossing from Coolidge Avenue through the paper street corridor. - Concerns about the restoration of native plants. - Having gates in the fence sets Brigham Road up to have some sort of access. - A conservation restriction was in the works to be established to protect the back of all those properties. Mrs. Fulop stated they have good reasons they need the fence. They have put up cameras; the cameras were stolen or disabled. They have things dumped onto their property. They have a conservation restriction on the back 2 acres of their lot and this is the only restriction they are aware of on their property or nearby.
